Learning support message distribution program

Abstract

Disclosed is a learning support message distribution program which analyzes learning information of a learner, prepares a support message having contents based on the result of the analysis and distributes the support message to a supporter unit in place of a supporter of the learner. Learning progress levels on a current distribution date and a previous distribution date are read out and a learning-progress status level value is determined by referring to a learning-progress status level determination table. A current short-term grade level and a previous short-term grade level are read out and a short-term grade level value is determined by referring to a test-result status level determination table. A current cumulative grade level and a previous cumulative grade level are read out, a cumulative grade level value is determined by referring to the test-result status level determination table and a support mail editing / sending routine is executed. The support mail editing / sending routine sends a support message in which a proposed advice sentence corresponding to each status level value is written to a supporter personal computer.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to Japanese Patent application No. 2001-343308, filed Nov. 8, 2001.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a learning support message distribution program which analyzes learning information of a learner, prepares a support message having contents according to the learning situation of a learner and distributes the message to a supporter unit in place of a supporter of the learner.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Remote learning systems which provide learners with educational services are equipped with functions of storing lecture contents and test questions placed on a web site which provides information of a hypertext type and transmitting the web site that contains the lecture contents and test questions to a learner personal computer (hereinafter called “PC”) used by each learner through network communication net such as an internet network. The educational services of such a remote learning system allow each learner to receiv...

Benefits of technology

[0011]The learning support message distribution program may further allow the computer to function as clock means for measuring time; time interval memory means for storing information on a time interval from information readout performed by the learning information reading means to next information readout; time passage determining means for determining a passage of the time interval stored in the time interval memory means based on the time measured by the clock means; and learning information readout executing means for causing the learning information reading means to execute a readout process when the time passage determining means determines that the time interval stored in the time interval memory means has passed.

Problems solved by technology

When a learner is taking a learning course, therefore, the supporter of the learner cannot know the details of learning information of the learner without asking the learner or the system manager about learning information on the learner.

Unless a supporter can grasp the learning situation of a learner in detail, therefore, the supporter cannot make detailed communication with the learner about the learning situation.

Therefore, the supporter is likely to lose a chance to have friendly communication with the learner, including messages on praising the learner's achievement of the learning goal, encouragement and spurring, which will be disincentive to the learner.

The transmission of such learning information, when huge, particularly, would impose a severe burden on the supporter.

This inhibits the supporter from giving adequate pieces of advice according to the learning situation to the learner, which may eventually make the learner give up the study.
